    End of day increased volume - what does it mean?

    That's what I would think as well. Nothing mysterious about it. When you have equal buyers and sellers no matter the size it won't move price. Long candles happen when one side greatly outweighs the other and has to move price in order to get filled.

    Grinding it out, day after day

    Sometimes sarcasm is hard to pick up on on the web... Thanks for the thread lescor. Can I be yet another pest and pick your brain? Did you have profitable strategies before you went to a prop shop (ie. did it just take the discipline of the office setting to get you over the top)...

For most people the "green movement" is just another superficial fad. They could care less if they're actually making a difference as long as their...

    Finally! Tesla IPO

    Big oil and big auto isn't bothered by Tesla because the car is six figures. If they start building electric cars at a price below 30k then Tesla execs might need to start sleeping with one eye open. They get gov money for the same reason the rest of the "alternative energy" crowd does. So gov...

    Nice to hear something about reading the tape around here. Tons of posts about fibs, tea leaves, moon phases, and other hocus pocus. Not many useful insights about the tape, thanks. Looking forward to the rest of the thread. Your last point sounds very much like a simple technique TalonTrading...

    CL Redux

    I'd agree. I'm more interested in staying out of the market when news is being released and something like this API release wasn't listed on bloomberg's or forexfactory's calendar.

    10:1 could be the new leverage rule

    That's a little different. Those idiots are raising healthcare costs for everyone. Blowing out your account only harms yourself.

    Does this usually result in a sustained move or just a short term spike when the stops of people taking the pattern you're fading are hit?
